Harry Potter Morning Light

Hogsmeade's Honeydukes is crowded with people, and the Chinese supermarket is full of people. I have eaten dishes from various countries, but my favorite is the taste of my hometown. Many gray-haired elderly people line up at the entrance of the Chinese supermarket. They say It is Chinese, but the accent is completely different. People in Hong Kong and Guangdong must speak Cantonese, and some people are speaking "Mandarin". Anyway, Pomona can't understand what they are saying.

To make authentic Chinese dishes, you still need local Chinese seasonings. Frozen and dry goods are shipped from China, as well as some fruits and vegetables that can be stored.

In addition, Chinese people have a strange hobby for stinky smells, stinky tofu, durian, snail noodles, these things remind her of dragon dung, she really can't accept, and dark cooking preserved eggs, how can they make an ordinary egg into that look?

The UK also has dark cuisine. There is a joke in the food industry that the British teach you how to cook. The Chinese can’t stand Scotland’s national dish, haggis. It is said that they think its taste is more disgusting than its appearance.

Another thing is to look up at the starry sky. The dead fish eyes of "looking up at the starry sky" at a 45-degree angle have turned off the appetite of countless tourists. If you have the courage to try it once, the butter and fishy smell will make them have a lifetime aftertaste.

Roseville not only protested against the development of the Jereux Street real estate project, but even the British people raised signs to protest. Among them was a big white man who wrote "Don't ruin my Kung Pao Chicken" in large letters. There is no Chinese Dishes, just eating British fried fish and potatoes will make people desperate.

Red lanterns are being hung on the street near the New Year, which is a must-have item for the Spring Festival. Looking around, it is very lively and festive. Pomona bought a bunch of candied haws to eat.

The hawthorn is coated with a layer of sugar, which tastes sour and sweet. Chinatown is not big, so she decided not to rush to fill her stomach before visiting all the restaurants.

This place reminded her of Diagon Alley, which is also not big, but very delicate, with a main street and several criss-crossing auxiliary streets. With the development of Chinatown, the nearby Xingangfang and Beauty Street have also become more and more prosperous. Whether it is Chinese who have settled in the UK or tourists from other countries, they all come here to have a look.

A Chinese-style hexagonal pavilion on the street, the most famous meeting point, is now occupied by protesting demonstrators.

The Hongmen Triad is a well-known anti-Qing secret organization in history, and now it is the collective name of the traditional Chinese gangster forces. In the 19th century, the Manchu Qing government was too busy to protect the rights and interests of the Chinese overseas. Chinese power.

Hongmen wants to collect protection fees for shops, and the tax collected by the government is also a protection fee, just wearing a "legal" cloak, but paying taxes to the British government, Scotland Yard does not protect the rights and interests of the Chinese, but Hongmen wants to host for the Chinese. Fairness, just like the Corleone family in The Godfather, protects the rights and interests of Italians in the United States.

At the beginning of the movie, the boys who hurt the cake shop owner's daughter escaped legal sanctions. If Corleone is not found, there is no way to avenge the revenge.

Chinatown is the sphere of influence of Hongmen, and the police will not come in easily. In addition to restaurants and other shops, there are also lawyers' offices, accountants' offices, banks and travel agencies. The handling fees of underground banks are definitely higher than those of banks, but the money cannot be sent back through legal channels.

There is a Chinese proverb that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and where there is sunshine, there will be shadows. People who are used to the dark can distinguish the same kind at a glance, just like gays can recognize gays at a glance.

Severus caught sight of a man in a jacket hiding in the shadows on the street corner, and although he quickly averted his gaze and pretended to be a normal date with Pomona, she A line of sight could be felt looking at the two of them.

"How can you get into trouble everywhere?" she muttered unhappily, her date was about to be ruined again.

"I've tried my best to keep a low profile." He pretended to be emotional and said, "But my kind of spy is different from your kind, and it's meant to attract attention."

Just like Arabella Figg who testified for Harry in court, there are many people in the Order of the Phoenix hiding in the dark, and Severus Snape is a superstar, who is a double agent for Lily, what a hero spirit.

The candied haws in her hand suddenly became sour and astringent, and she didn't want to eat it.

He took her by the hand and entered a roast duck restaurant. Both BJ Roast Duck and Panda are China's business cards, and people all over the world know it.

The business here is very good, almost full of people, and the decoration inside is also very Chinese. The partition between each booth is made of bamboo, and the checkout counter is at the door. The waiters are all Chinese. It feels like this is not the UK at all. up.

"Two, please come inside." A girl with neat bangs said in English with a sweet smile. With two bags on her head, she looked like a Chinese doll sold in a souvenir shop.

"Is there a private room?" Severus asked.

"I'm sorry, there are people in the private room."

"It's just the two of us, let's go outside." She didn't want to get entangled in trivial matters, and sat down in a booth with the waitress. There was a greasy smell here, unlike the last time she and Della As elegant as the Michelin restaurant Ko went to, but she can marry a man with greasy hair, what can't stand it.

Not long after they sat down, the man in the jacket who met Severus's eyes just now walked into the shop. The boss was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then immediately burst into smiles. The two said a few words, Then they walked to the back kitchen together, out of Pomona's sight.

"You're a terrible secret spy," Pomona said in merman's language to the double agent who was reading the menu, while the waiter was standing by, waiting for their order.

"Don't sit across from me, sit next to me." He said while flipping through the menu, and she immediately obeyed and sat down.

He randomly ordered a few special dishes marked on the menu, and then said affectionately in her ear, "Take out your makeup mirror and face it behind us."

She did so immediately, and she could see behind her through the scalloped case that held the foundation.

"He's not here." She put away the makeup mirror.

"There are cameras," Severus said. "They're watching us right now."

With the advancement of Muggle technology, their monitoring equipment is also constantly upgrading, but due to budget problems, ordinary cameras are installed on ordinary streets, which do not have the function of night light, and only need to use a light extinguisher to turn off the street lights. The camera doesn't work.

Or you can use a freezing spell to make the camera immobilized. As long as it keeps shooting at blind spots, it won't capture any useful information.

"What shall we do?" she asked nervously.

"Everything is as usual, we are here to play." He smiled and said, "I haven't done this kind of field work yet."

There are two kinds of people who work in the field. The handsome ones can participate in meetings, activities, and exchange information. The other kind of people are very ordinary-looking, but have very good physical fitness, suitable for theft and sabotage activities, and disappear when they blend into the crowd. .

The ugly guy in front of him obviously regarded himself as James Bond, and Pomona couldn't help reaching out and pinching his hooked nose, trying to wake him up.

"Would you like to go to the casino later? I heard that there is one in China Town." He easily controlled her, hugged her in his arms like an ordinary couple, and whispered in her ear.

"Don't you think you're not suspicious enough?" She said angrily, "I want to go to the supermarket, and I can't check out without Kreacher."

He seemed to have little interest in paying, as if he could just walk out of the supermarket with his groceries.

In fact, he can do the same, just use the Confusion Charm on those who stop him.

"This is the territory of the Chinese, you can't mess around." Pomona lowered her voice and said, "Do you still remember the Zhang Tao we met in the city hall? Do you think he is related to the Hongmen people?" ?”

"I don't think so." Severus said sarcastically, "If he is a wizard, he is also a white wizard. He will not come to a place like Chinatown where dragons and snakes are mixed."

"Then do you think there will be Chinese wizards here?" She said excitedly.

"Even if there is him, he is black. Wang Wei almost killed us that time. Not all Chinese people think it is a pleasure to have friends from afar." Severus said with a stiff face, "Also, Chinatown belongs to the UK. Land, don’t say this is the territory of the Chinese.”

Pomona rolled her eyes, too lazy to say another word.
